In addition to age and intrinsic patient factors, the presence of specific bacterial organisms independently predicts death in patients with non-appendiceal IAI.
Uterine dehiscence (partial or complete) is a rare complication of lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). Puerperal sepsis with intra-abdominal abscess following this event has been rarely reported. The delay in diagnosis and management of the condition can result in significant morbidity and mortality. We herein report three cases of puerperal sepsis along with intra-abdominal abscess associated with uterine dehiscence following LSCS. These patients in the current case series presented with complaints of fever and abdominal pain. Early recognition and prompt treatment with diagnostic laparoscopy and or laparotomy with drainage were effective in the management of these patients.
The CAD anoscope reduced operative times for modified Ferguson (closed) hemorrhoidectomy when compared with traditional retractors. There was no difference in incontinence or pain between groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
